Joe,
Ha! You popped your cherry. Now you're a veteran Pattern Pilot. Sounds like you had fun and met some good people, not to mention the fact that you took home an award. See - we told you it would be fun! Scott is a great guy isn't he? his "rudder technique" works extremely well - glad he shared that with you.
Start getting ready for Sayre. I can set you up with a buddy box ride on my Temptation during practice on Friday if you're interested. Warning: once you fly a 2-meter ship you will be totally spoiled. You won't want to fly anything else! <LOL> Do you have room reservations yet? Most of us are staying at O-Briens Inn.

BTW - Rumor has it that some of the Southern boys are making a road-trip to Sayre. If you think NH was fun - wait until you see what happens in Sayre! Bring a foamy if you have one.
